THE MORRO CASTLE.
TO THB KDITOS. Sir.—As one British subject ] wish to dissociate myself from the uncalledfor remarks expressed in your article ‘ Morro Castle ’ to-night. As the Press is supposed to be the voice of the people it is not right that such statements should go unchallenged. The words 1 take exception to are; This aspect needs stressing as an indication of the mentality of a nation plainly ambitious to rule the waves and replace Britain in the role of the world’s great sea carrier,” etc. America at this lime surely has need of our entire sympathy in the tragedy which must affect so many of her people. Let us remember the kind messages received by ns from the American people at the time of the earthquake disasters in this country. 1 do not think I shall be the-only reader to take exception to this unnecessary attack, as it is surely not in accordance with the ideals of the League of Nations.—l am, etc., M.Vv.M. September 12.
